Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat. Cook the shrimp until bright pink and no longer translucent, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the wine to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- *If you prefer a less spicy dish, you may want to start with less of red pepper flakes.
- Buy peeled and deveined shrimp to save prep.
- The shrimp look pretty with the tails on, perfect if serving as an appetizer. If serving over pasta, choose shrimp without tails.
- The ingredients (including the garlic) can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. The dish takes just minutes to come together.
- If serving as an appetizer, include crusty bread or crostini for sopping up the scampi sauce.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It is not recommended to freeze because it will alter the texture of the srhimp.
